PRAISE FOR COCOON
'Cocoon is an inspiring exploration of home as a sanctuary, celebrating the beauty of spaces that nurture and provide comfort. Ali has an intuitive understanding of the meaning of home, encouraging others to live with the things they love and to celebrate their individuality.' Chrissie Rucker - Founder @thewhitecompany'Another stunning design book! Ali Heath's books never fail to inspire me.'Leanne Ford - @leannefordinteriorsPRAISE FOR ALI HEATH'It's clear that the spaces and wisdom featured in Create come from the heart. It is another masterclass by Ali Heath in creating soulful spaces that sing with warmth and cut their own design path.' - Nicole Gray, Interiors Editor, YOU magazine'Ali is undoubtedly one of the best, most consistent and versatile stylists working today, and her new book Create is testimony to that.' - Ben Kendrick: Editor, Modern Rustic; Homes and Style Director, Country Living magazine***In her third book, Cocoon: Creating Homes with Heart, Ali Heath, invites the reader to create a home sanctuary that focuses on the human touch, as an antidote to our fast-paced, tech-driven modern world. This way of decorating is so much more than just a look or style - it's about taking a holistic approach that draws upon all our senses, not just the visual, and connects us more meaningfully to ourselves and our surroundings. In the past creating a sanctuary was about the decoration of a few key rooms, now it is about how the whole home makes us feel. Cocooning is not about isolation or shutting down and does not have to mean going off-grid - it is simply about tuning back into our emotions and creativity to satisfy our need for comfort and wonder. Divided into three informative chapters: Cocooning, Feeling and Living, the book explores the homes of 13 creatives from around the world, including architects, antique dealers, furniture makers and artists in the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Australia. With everything from small inner-city sanctuaries to spacious island retreats, Cocoon celebrates a design approach that speaks to the heart.Ali Heath is a UK-based journalist, stylist, interior designer and consultant and has more than 20 years freelance experience, working with prestigious interiors magazines, newspapers and private clients.
